i'd feel safer riding the shuttle than riding a bull, theres no chance of the bull blowing up, theres no chance i will feel 9G on my body, it wont be any chance of burning up on re-entry, but wheres the fun in bull riding ?

@damndj don't worry they pull about 3g, which isnt much below what formula 1 driver experiences through a sharp high speed corner, however they're experiencing this g for a long period of time, and i can tell you i wouldnt like to experience it for that long because its uncomfortable, some particular people have passed out when i've taken them on a phugoid motion flight which we make sure only pulls 2.5 g for at most 20 seconds!
@divad101 They don't really reach the 3-g acceleration until the begin to level out and really accelerate. On the main phases of ascent it's usually no more than 1.5 for the most part.
Would be nice to put a little diagram of the shuttles ascent in the corner of the video to get a clearer picture of where exactly they are at what times.

@papan1990 The Command Pilot has the upper say-so over the aircraft and the flight. The pilot to his right, flies the plane and performs most of the piloting duties. The Commander sits left seat just like in a jet, and the co-pilot sits right seat.
@VIR092 so, is the pilot is recruited just to fly the aircraft? Or does he also work like the other scientists up there? While landing, who takes command of the aircraft? The commander or the pilot? I am not understanding this thing, if the pilot flies the aircraft then why is he in the co pilot's seat and not in the captain's seat?
@papan1990 Like in any plane, you have commander and co-pilot, or captain and first officer whichever way you look at it. The pilot's duties (both the commander and pilot together) fly and manage all of the systems of the Shuttle. The scientists or specialists do other work like EVA or experiments on the Space Station.
When landing, that is up to the two of them. The Commander may take over if the pilot cannot make the landing, such as if he is not able to because of a medical reason.
America will never be what it once was. Every bit of future space exploration will be done by Russia, China and India. Im shure there are Americans that hate this fact.
It just is a shock how stupid! America was something now there like the rest of the world.
Im a bull rider and most people think we are crazy for what we do. Well i think astronauts will always have more guts than me anyday. These guys are the bravest people ever.
@PBRMafia Let me rephrase that... 2 failures out of 135 missions. Riding the shuttle is more dangerous than riding a bull, but being a bullrider is probably more dangerous than being an astronaut, because a bullrider rides a lot more bulls than astronauts ride shuttles ~
I think this job will rock your ass, but I think it's accually impossible to do if you're not an Einstein. That's why I want to be an Air Traffic Controller!
One thing i have always wanted to do, is to be one of the lucky few that are selected to be called Astronauts, to venture out into space and escape gravity, become weightless, become history, and most important of all become a part of it......
@Krathor18 u never escape gravity, u can "beat it" but not escape it, the gravity of the earth may not be felt in space but it affects things millions of lightyears away to some extent, anything with gravity effects everything else regardless of how far away it is (to some extent)
@silverpizza100 shut up you hippie liberal douche. your taxes are worth peanuts. go be a good american and keep buying that fast food, maybe that way you'll help stimulate the economy.
@BryceDella astronauts are scientists mostly there arent pilots needed anymore, just 1 each flight and 1 commander. actually any of the astroanuts can land the space shuttle and the most are mission specialists and studied medicine or physics or technology or those things
@predatortheme Its just the opposite. Most astronauts are not scientist. The CDR & pilot have all been military pilots most of them fighter pilots. Most astronauts cannot land the shuttle altough a lot do have a private pilot certificate. Some of the mission specialist are military pilots or ex pilots. Only the CDR & PLT train to land the shuttle. The others train mostly for their specific job on that mission wether it be EVA related or robotics etc. Most are over achievers and very talented.
@jonesy97 Ha Ha Ha, that's funny of a comment. I would get frustrated too to see a pencil wannabe rocket fly by in front of me making its regular orbit
T o see how it operated on the outside during launch. From foam shedding that could damage the orbiter to how some valves and botl catchers operated after disconnect from the orbiter. Its just part of the puzzle that tells if the launch was successful.
Also some people think that the seats are made to with stand launch vibrations and have shock absorbers or dampners or resemble recliners and such. The CDR & PLT seats are fixed to the orbiter because they have motors and cabling attached because the are adjustable back and forth and up/down. The other 5 mission seats weigh 47 lbs and are made of alum. with Kevlar struts. They all have one butt pad 1in thick. Thats it. Their parachute is their back cushion.
Why dont we see crewman come back in the recumbent position ? Because we dont fly minicams on the middeck for landing ! Why ? Because the long duration crew members are usually very sick on the runway and throwing up etc.
The O2/comm and ICU are attached with the ICU on the bottom of the seat instead of the side. This configuration has flown many times. Usually its only one crewman who comes back like this. But many years ago three crewman came back in the recumbent position. Upon landing and on the runway all crewman are sitting up like an airplane landing except for anyone who is in a recumbent seat. They are on their backs upon landing. See next
If this is a crew transfer mission meaning a crewman is riding back after a long stay on station, a recumbent seat adapter frame assembly was launched in pieces in a stowage bag on the middeck. Before landing, the crew assembles the frame assembly usually in the seat 7 position on the middeck. A mission seat that was used for launch attached by its legs to the floor is now attached to the frame assembly on its back with pip pins. This is now called a recumbent seat assembly.
Here's the facts about shuttle seats. All seats launch with their legs attached to the floor using brownline fittings. These are military style quick disconnect fittings. Of course when the orbiter is vertical at the pad, crewman are lying on their backs. In fact seats are installed at the pad about 4 days prior to launch. Each seat is fitted with O2/Comm/Dc power to run each crewmans ICU (cooling fan). ICU's are mounted to the side of each seat. Once on orbit all of this is removed.
Again, a recumbent seat is a mission seat set with its back against the floor on a special frame work for long duration crew members coming back from station. So when they land on the runway he/she has less stress on their back. You have to believe ! Your not going to get any closer to what happens in the cockpit then me !
Long duration crew members are on their backs during landing. They sit in the middeck, thats why you dont see video of it. The four on the flightdeck are upright and thats what you see in the video.
Just keep watching the videos and the TV and googling all your facts and one day you will see me in them not knowing of course that it is me. I live, breath and get paid for my job for the past 25 years. Dont take everything you see on this box and the media and the TV to heart. There is a lot of mis information out there.
There's no need to start being so obnoxious, it's a Youtube vid for christ's sake ! You'll have forgive me for not believing a word of what you've just said. I usually find that people who attempt to brag about their lives/jobs are rarely what they purport to be.
So like I'VE already said, I KNOW that I'm right and you THINK that your right, so lets agree to disagree.
I hope that you're mature enough to end it there !
If you think that you're right then more power to you, I'm assuming you have a firm grasp of the English language so I refer you to the last sentence in my previous comment !
i imaging you're being sarcastic haha he is from far the most annoyed astronaut ever.. you can see him playing, reading, writing even looking some porno during the ride!
@zlinkguza Well you should be excited then. Virgin Galactic plans to launch major commercial space flight piloted by commercial pilots by the year 2012. I plan to apply when the opportunity arrives as well.
@zlinkguza When I visited Kennedy I came out of the center saying 'I wanna be an astronaut'. Now I realise so many people must have said that.... Plues the shuttle mission is ending this year and I wanted to fly in the shuttle.
the guy in the middle looks very unprofessional...when it was turning to zero gravity, he pushed the two seats in front to balance himself. All other guys stayed unmoved. I think the pilot would be upset when he was hit by someone from behind. And also, this guy's notebook flew off when the gravity dropped to zero. what would happen if it hits an important button in the cockpit?
The recumbent seats are designed to absorb the vibration so that it doesn't transfer directly to the astronauts, so yes they do move, but only very slightly, just enough to absorb the worst of the vibration.
No recumbent seats are used for launch. Only on landing. A recumbent seat is nothing more than a mission seat turned on its back and mounted on a frame so a long duration crew member can land on his back instead of sitting up. Again the seats are hard mounted and shake as the orbiter shakes.
No, you're wrong. recumbent seats are the ONLY seats in the STS and THEY are designed to absorb the worst of the vibration instead of transmitting it through to the Astronaut. They launch reclined because the STS is in the vertical position for launch, the seats don't change position, on re-entry they're sat UPRIGHT not reclined. The seats are in the nomal position when its in level flight because its horizontal. Again, at launch the STS is in the vertical. I KNOW that I'm right !!
I set the crew compartment up for flight. None of the seats are made to absorb vibration. they were made to be light weight and stowable once on orbit. Yes the seats are attached to the floor at the pad. yes that makes them on their back for launch. The official name is mission seat. These are all removed once on orbit. The CDR/PLT seats are motorized and stay in postion on orbit. They are removed on the ground if required. Usually not.
They wear them incase they have to bail out at high altitiude. Its not because of the G-forces, before the challenger disaster they only wore cloth fabric suits.
bail out... bail out where, space? they might as well stay on board and die with the craft. The suit can't hand;e re-entry and it would take to long to get another craft up there
They would bail out in the big area between the ground and space. Think about what you are saying. People skydive from planes, and it does take the shuttle some time to reach that height. Even past that, a person, especially wearing a suit, would be able to bail out and live. The U2 spy plane that was shot down during the cold war was one of the highest flying planes ever made and the pilot bailed out and lived.
Its not like im making this up, go google the space shuttle and read about it.
Theoretically, they can bail out in space if they weren't going 17,500 mph. Col. Joe Kittinger bailed out of a High altitude Balloon gondola @102,000+ ft.
yeah i heard about him, his story is pretty cool. the got a thing about him at the USAF museum in Ohio. But still i don't think those suits the astronauts have are pressurized, they're just flights suits. Col. Joe at least had a pressurized suits. look it up it's funny b/c his glove lost pressure and swelled like something crazt

Plus what i want to know is. the external tank is on the bottem of the shuttle. why are they taking pictures of nothing?
flattty 2 years ago
After the tank is jettisoned, the orbiter also rolls 180 degrees. then the upper windows look right down on it.
mach25man 2 years ago
Why they take pictures of the external tank after the separation?
SupermassiveDrummer 2 years ago
T o see how it operated on the outside during launch. From foam shedding that could damage the orbiter to how some valves and botl catchers operated after disconnect from the orbiter. Its just part of the puzzle that tells if the launch was successful.
mach25man 2 years ago
Ok,thank you! =)
SupermassiveDrummer 2 years ago
Also some people think that the seats are made to with stand launch vibrations and have shock absorbers or dampners or resemble recliners and such. The CDR & PLT seats are fixed to the orbiter because they have motors and cabling attached because the are adjustable back and forth and up/down. The other 5 mission seats weigh 47 lbs and are made of alum. with Kevlar struts. They all have one butt pad 1in thick. Thats it. Their parachute is their back cushion.

Why dont we see crewman come back in the recumbent position ? Because we dont fly minicams on the middeck for landing ! Why ? Because the long duration crew members are usually very sick on the runway and throwing up etc.
Those are the facts like it or not.
mach25man 2 years ago 2
The O2/comm and ICU are attached with the ICU on the bottom of the seat instead of the side. This configuration has flown many times. Usually its only one crewman who comes back like this. But many years ago three crewman came back in the recumbent position. Upon landing and on the runway all crewman are sitting up like an airplane landing except for anyone who is in a recumbent seat. They are on their backs upon landing. See next
mach25man 2 years ago
If this is a crew transfer mission meaning a crewman is riding back after a long stay on station, a recumbent seat adapter frame assembly was launched in pieces in a stowage bag on the middeck. Before landing, the crew assembles the frame assembly usually in the seat 7 position on the middeck. A mission seat that was used for launch attached by its legs to the floor is now attached to the frame assembly on its back with pip pins. This is now called a recumbent seat assembly.
See next.

Here's the facts about shuttle seats. All seats launch with their legs attached to the floor using brownline fittings. These are military style quick disconnect fittings. Of course when the orbiter is vertical at the pad, crewman are lying on their backs. In fact seats are installed at the pad about 4 days prior to launch. Each seat is fitted with O2/Comm/Dc power to run each crewmans ICU (cooling fan). ICU's are mounted to the side of each seat. Once on orbit all of this is removed.

Again, a recumbent seat is a mission seat set with its back against the floor on a special frame work for long duration crew members coming back from station. So when they land on the runway he/she has less stress on their back. You have to believe ! Your not going to get any closer to what happens in the cockpit then me !

EVERY crew member is in the upright position for re-entry/landing. If you think differently then you don't know what your talking about.

And the seats DO have a damping effect built into them, FACT !
meadeETX125pe 2 years ago
Absolutly no damping built into the seat.
Long duration crew members are on their backs during landing. They sit in the middeck, thats why you dont see video of it. The four on the flightdeck are upright and thats what you see in the video.

JephN 2 years ago
the guy in the middle looks very unprofessional...when it was turning to zero gravity, he pushed the two seats in front to balance himself. All other guys stayed unmoved. I think the pilot would be upset when he was hit by someone from behind. And also, this guy's notebook flew off when the gravity dropped to zero. what would happen if it hits an important button in the cockpit?
rdlulu 2 years ago
Any "importatnt button" in the shuttle cockpit has a guard or a failsafe to prevent any such problems. Didnt you see apollo 13??
mmj0306 2 years ago 2
The important switches take more than one action to make them move.
mach25man 2 years ago
He didn't push them. The seats were being pushed back due to the G-loads. When the engines cut off, the seats spring back forward.
kimmern123 2 years ago 2
The seats dont move at all. They shake when the orbiter shakes. They dont spring in any direction.
mach25man 2 years ago
mach25man
The recumbent seats are designed to absorb the vibration so that it doesn't transfer directly to the astronauts, so yes they do move, but only very slightly, just enough to absorb the worst of the vibration.
meadeETX125pe 2 years ago
No recumbent seats are used for launch. Only on landing. A recumbent seat is nothing more than a mission seat turned on its back and mounted on a frame so a long duration crew member can land on his back instead of sitting up. Again the seats are hard mounted and shake as the orbiter shakes.
mach25man 2 years ago
mach25man
No, you're wrong. recumbent seats are the ONLY seats in the STS and THEY are designed to absorb the worst of the vibration instead of transmitting it through to the Astronaut. They launch reclined because the STS is in the vertical position for launch, the seats don't change position, on re-entry they're sat UPRIGHT not reclined. The seats are in the nomal position when its in level flight because its horizontal. Again, at launch the STS is in the vertical. I KNOW that I'm right !!
meadeETX125pe 2 years ago
I set the crew compartment up for flight. None of the seats are made to absorb vibration. they were made to be light weight and stowable once on orbit. Yes the seats are attached to the floor at the pad. yes that makes them on their back for launch. The official name is mission seat. These are all removed once on orbit. The CDR/PLT seats are motorized and stay in postion on orbit. They are removed on the ground if required. Usually not.

onealhart54 2 years ago
They wear them incase they have to bail out at high altitiude. Its not because of the G-forces, before the challenger disaster they only wore cloth fabric suits.
canxer 2 years ago
bail out... bail out where, space? they might as well stay on board and die with the craft. The suit can't hand;e re-entry and it would take to long to get another craft up there
06CSher 2 years ago
They would bail out in the big area between the ground and space. Think about what you are saying. People skydive from planes, and it does take the shuttle some time to reach that height. Even past that, a person, especially wearing a suit, would be able to bail out and live. The U2 spy plane that was shot down during the cold war was one of the highest flying planes ever made and the pilot bailed out and lived.
Its not like im making this up, go google the space shuttle and read about it.
canxer 2 years ago
Theoretically, they can bail out in space if they weren't going 17,500 mph. Col. Joe Kittinger bailed out of a High altitude Balloon gondola @102,000+ ft.

yeah i heard about him, his story is pretty cool. the got a thing about him at the USAF museum in Ohio. But still i don't think those suits the astronauts have are pressurized, they're just flights suits. Col. Joe at least had a pressurized suits. look it up it's funny b/c his glove lost pressure and swelled like something crazt
